Redditor ParahSailin was in for a surprise while taking a taxi in a small tourist town in China: the taxi driver told him he had given his daughter up for adoption to an American family five years ago. He wanted to find her. Could the American help?<br />
<br />
The taxi driver gave ParahSailin a photograph of his daughter, taken when she was 12, and a hand-written note with his contact information.<br />
<br />
Then ParahSailin did the only thing he could:<a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/iq0s2/a_cab_driver_in_china_drove_me_home_for_free_in/"> he posted it all to Reddit</a>. The post quickly shot to the front page, gathering nearly 20,000 upvotes.<br />
<br />
But so far, no one&#39;s been able to help.<br />
<br />
The picture of the taxi driver&rsquo;s daughter, 12 at the time of adoption, is below. Do you recognize her?<br />
<br />
So far the story has not been verified. We&#39;ve reached out to both ParahSailin and the Chinese taxi driver and will update you as soon as we hear from them.<br />
<br />
And here is the family&#39;s information in Chinese and English, provided by ParahSailin:<br />
<br />
The name the father gave her was 衢凤 (Qufeng). Father&#39;s name is 陈智峰 (Chen Zhifeng), mother&#39;s name is 周柳仙 (Zhou Liuxian). The father lives in Quzhou, in Zhejiang province, not far from Shanghai.<br />
<br />
The Chinese from the letter is as follows:<br />
<br />
衢州市衢江区后溪镇堤下村，福利院名字是徐衢凤，出生日期1995年。她的父亲是陈智峰，母亲周柳仙。</p>
